Maintaining window scroll position after changing window.location

Hey guys,

Just a quick question regarding a problem I'm having and some code is provided below for the proof of concept. I'm trying to develop a very simple script that basically goes to another page, but remembers the scroll position from the previous one. I have a gut feeling that I can't transmit this kind of data without using perhaps using a cookie. If you load up the example code, and scroll down to the link and click it, it reloaded the page but doesn't return to the scroll position.
